Managing categories: The role of social technology in kindergarten teachers’ work to promote early intervention and integration
2021
Early intervention and integration are highly valued ideals in kindergartens in Norway. Building on two research projects informed by institutional ethnography, the authors address how kindergarten teachers ‘do’ early intervention and integration in their everyday work. They argue that this work largely revolves around managing categories, whether making categories fit people or making people fit categories. In this work, the kindergarten teachers rely on social technology that is influenced by a ‘psy-discourse’. Despite good intentions, the social technology and the professionals’ use of it ends up constructing the categories they are intended to help or ‘heal’.
Health Promotion in Schools
2015
In the past two decades, an increasing number of school-based mental health programs and services have been developed and implemented. In this overview, quantitative reviews of prevention and intervention programs targeting adolescent obesity, drug use, smoking, alcohol consumption, and aggressive and violent behaviors such as bullying are presented. Research into the effectiveness of comprehensive school health programs provides evidence of the positive influence of these programs on student health behaviors. However, conditions that initiate and maintain effective school health promotion programs depend on several school-based organizational and program implementation factors. Therefore, …

IntroductionTeachers and student teachers in Germany are a high-risk population for stress and stress-related mental health problems. This often leads to early retirement in subsequent professional life. Various trials have demonstrated positive effects of stress prevention training on the perceived stress and stress-related symptoms of teachers. Although many studies show positive effects of mindfulness-based stress interventions, there is not yet any mindfulness-based intervention for teachers or student teachers in Germany. The aim of this trial is to evaluate a training that combines mindfulness-based and cognitive interventions into one programme, addressing to the specific burdens of …

FLOW DIVERTER DEVICE IN THE ACUTE SETTING OF RUPTURED BLISTER LIKE ANEURYSM: A CASE REPORT
2021
Blister-like aneurysms (BLA) are a rare half-dome-shaped aneurysm, with a broad-based appearance, originating more often from a non-branching site of the supraclinoid internal carotid artery (ICA). They are sometimes difficult to recognize due to their morphological changes and high tendency to rupture. BLAs are often undiagnosed and may be detected only after repeated angiograms in the case of acute subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH). BLA are life-threatening and no consensus has so far been reached on the best management strategy. We describe a patient with a BLA in the left ICA successfully treated by flow-diverting device using intraoperative abciximab bolus, with successful results. Recentl…
On the Playing Field to Improve: A Goal for Autism.
2020
In recent years, there has been a renewed attention to lifestyle-based interventions in people with autism spectrum disorder. The positive effects of physical exercise programs have been well documented both in healthy people and in people with disabilities in the fields of psychological well-being, cognitive outcome and medical health. There is much less evidence about the opportunity to attempt a team-group sport for people with autism. Although researchers seem to suggest an overall positive effect, playing team sports for people with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) means dealing with difficulties in social interactions and limitations in motor functions. This narrative review aims to rep…
